Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, before adding this supplement to your routine, you should be aware of the specific risks and limitations associated with calcium intake.
How it works
Calcium supports your body through bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommended dose from this product's label. Speak with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any medications or have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions. They can help you determine if calcium supplementation is right for you and at what dose [NIH ODS].
